From the rise of the latest It bag (the D-Journey, and we documented it in detail only a few weeks ago) to the ongoing love affair with the logo-emblazoned slingback pumps, Dior is no stranger to creating items shoppers compete over.
Although consumers will pick and choose from the vast ready-to-wear range and create looks unique to their style, some pieces have universal appeal, and a few of those surfaced quite clearly today during the Parisian fashion house's autumn/winter 2025 show.
Held in the grounds of the Jardin de Tuileries in central Paris, Dior transported show attendees (including Lily James, who looked impeccable in a black peplum top and cigarette pants) to a world of imagination; housed within a gigantic temporary box which in itself is always meta enough, we seemed to be taken a million miles away from reality with a set that featured ice caps rising through the floor, smoke cascading from the ceiling, a jurassic bird flying across the room… and much, much more.
We were led to this faraway land by creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, who delved into the French-fashion history books to revitalise flounced-collar shirts, exaggerated cuffs, corsetry and—for the daring dressers out there—dandy-ish knee-length shorts worthy of a swashbuckle or two. As mesmerising and theatrical as the staging was, editors do not sleep on spotting trends or calculating the next big thing.
So, here are the items I saw in the collection that I think Dior's dedicated (and huge) fashion-girl following will be interested in next season.
J'Adore Dior Tees
Style Notes: A forever favourite from the brand, Dior's iconic J'Adore tee will never get old. This statement piece, which is now 25 years old, became a casual layering item instead of the main event, but it still managed to steal the limelight.
Pearl Chokers
Style Notes: So far, several A/W 25 shows have relied on necklaces as the primary jewellery piece. Dior followed suit by modernising the idea of a ruff rendered in peachy tones and trimmed with pearls—very cute.
Monk-Strap Flats
Style Notes: Fashion editors are always on the hunt for chic, comfortable flat shoes that can still have the polish and impact of a pair of heels. Fancy, high-shine monk-strap brogues like these definitely do the trick, especially when paired with pulled-up pop socks.
Pearl-Chain Bags
Style Notes: Dior's bags are always on the prettier, uptown-lady side of things, so it's a win to adorn some of its cherished styles with the addition of a dainty pearl strap.
